Possible Causes
Utility supply voltage above specification, Loose neutral or line connection in service panel, Faulty internal voltage sensing circuit on main control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Warning: Overvoltage can damage the charger and vehicle. Do not bypass this protection.
- Step 1 – Measure supply voltage:
- With a multimeter and appropriate PPE, measure line-to-line voltage at the charger's input terminals (qualified person only).
- Compare to the charger's rated input (typically 208–240 VAC). If consistently above spec, contact your utility or electrician.
- Step 2 – Inspect panel connections:
- Have an electrician check for loose lugs, corroded breakers, or shared neutrals causing voltage imbalance.
- Correct any wiring defects.
- Step 3 – Power cycle and retest:
- Turn OFF the breaker for 2 minutes, then turn it back ON.
- Check if the error clears and the charger resumes normal operation.
- Step 4 – Internal sensing fault:
- If measured voltage is normal but the charger still reports overvoltage, the main control board voltage sensing circuit may be defective.
- Contact ChargePoint support or an EVSE technician to replace the control board.
